Age of Rebirth

The officers in the 29th Army were heartbroken by the betrayal of Song Zheyuan. He dealt with these things with his own hands. He couldn’t bear to follow his old brother who had been with him for many years. The 29th Army has been fighting in bitter cold places. Don't endure hardships, after a few years, I have come to Pingjin, a rich land, and can enjoy the blessings, but this kind of thing happened!

Taking advantage of the fact that the matter is not serious and there is no room for recovery, sending them away from the 29th Army can lead to a good death. If you are more merciful, you will harm them and sink deeper. If you can't turn around, you can't save them yourself, Tang Qiu Li Ke has no close relationship with them.

From Qiuli's behavior towards the Japanese, it can be seen that people who are willing to be Japanese slaves will not be merciful and merciful. Therefore, Song Zheyuan entrusted Tang Qiuli to handle this matter.

And write a warrant, Tang Qiuli will act as the commander of the army from now on, and have full authority to handle all matters related to the 29th Army, including the resignation, promotion, and transfer of officers. [

Tang Qiuli is now going to the military headquarters of the 29th Army. He has conveyed orders to the various departments of the 29th Army. Officers above the rank of major should go to the military headquarters to hold an emergency meeting.

There are about two hundred officers above the rank of major in the 29th Army, sitting in the conference room with solemn expressions. However, everyone's inner activities are not as calm as they appear on the surface. relieved their inner unease.

It has been eight or nine days since the old army commander was assassinated, and his life and death are uncertain. When he went to visit, he was stopped by the guard of deputy army commander Tang. The person of Deputy Army Commander Tang.

Rumors are spreading around the outside world, most of which is that the old army commander has died, just to stabilize the overall situation in Pingjin, and will not announce it to the public for the time being. If this is the case, the political situation in Pingjin will face a reshuffle. It's heaven, maybe hell. Facing the choice of personal future, honor or disgrace, many people's minds inevitably become active.

And some officers of the young and strong faction hope that Deputy Commander Tang will come back to take charge of the overall situation. Tang Qiuli's flamboyant record in suppressing bandits in Xiaowutai Mountain makes these iron-blooded soldiers admire them even more. The senior officers of the older generation have much more complicated ideas.

They also hope that Tang Qiuli will come back to preside over the overall situation, but they are also worried that Tang Qiuli's qualifications are too young to take on this important task. figure.

They didn't have much hope for Song Zheyuan's condition. Even if the army commander didn't die on the spot, his life was in critical condition, and there was hardly any sign of improvement. Come out and stabilize the situation.

Regarding the assassination of the army commander, they believed that it was the Japanese who did it. However, they did not rule out the possibility of other forces. It depends on who is the biggest beneficiary of the Song case. Feeling horrified, I broke out in a cold sweat from my own test.

The biggest beneficiary is obviously the No. 29 figure in the Pingjin area, the most popular Tang Qiuli. After having this idea that made them feel uneasy, these old men from the [-]th Army closed their doors to thank their guests, and lived in seclusion. Keeping your mouth shut about political affairs, in this treacherous and unpredictable juncture, if you are a little careless, it will destroy your family.

Tang Qiuli met the complex eyes of officers at all levels, and walked into the conference room with a calm expression. Amid the command of the star officer, the officers stood at attention and saluted Tang Qiuli. His position and rank were obvious, and he was the only one present. General, or the first deputy commander of the 29th Army.

Tang Qiuli didn't have anything extra to say. He took Song Zheyuan's warrant from Zhao Yuhe and handed it to Deputy Commander Qin Dechun. As Song Zheyuan's assistant and old friend for many years, Qin Dechun certainly recognized that it was Song Zheyuan's handwriting.

With a complicated expression, he glanced at Tang Qiuli, who was like a newborn sun, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart instantly. In terms of qualifications and status in the 29th Army, he is the acting commander.

Qin Dechun is not an ambitious person, and consciously cannot control the current chaotic political situation in Pingjin. However, the momentary loss and a little jealousy still welled up in his heart. This young man who is much younger than himself makes Qin Dechun feel a kind of strength in his heart. The feeling is the feeling that the sun is fading away and the youth is gone.

After reading Song Zheyuan's warrant, there was a solid silence, and then there was a whispering "buzzing" sound like a breeze blowing across the lake. No one doubted Qin Dechun's announcement of the commander's warrant, but was full of surprise and excitement for this decision. Confuse.

Since the army commander can write warrants, it means he is in poor health, but why did he refuse to see them? Tang Qiuli looked at everyone with eyes like autumn water. The contrast between Deputy Army Commander Qin and Deputy Army Commander Tang on the stage formed a stark contrast, just like flourishing. Sunrise and sunset.

Applause suddenly sounded, and it was concentrated at the back of the meeting room. It was the officers of the young and strong faction who expressed their welcome to Tang Qiuli with applause. After a while, the thunderous applause flooded the meeting room. The matter was a foregone conclusion. The army commander did not express any objection, no matter how helpless and unwilling, it will not help.

As a result, Tang Qiuli fully controlled the military power of the 29th Army. This army with the old background of the Northwest Army can still be seen in them. Different roads, as for future changes and twists and turns, are also inevitable in history.

Tang Qiuli immediately issued an order. First of all, the independent division sent weapons and medicines, which were immediately distributed to all units, giving priority to the front-line troops confronting the Japanese army, and forming combat effectiveness as soon as possible to deal with emergencies.

As for the equipment problem of the second-line troops, it should be solved immediately. The weapons of the bandits were seized, the replacement equipment was selected, and the old guns were eliminated. In the future, some of the independent divisions will be allocated to equip the 29th Army. [

This made the officers of the 29th Army at all levels very excited. These people have all seen the guns and medicines escorted by Zhao Dengyu's [-]th Brigade, and they are so greedy. If the elders have to be supplemented, it means that everyone has a share.

Tang Qiuli knew that in a few months time, 29 Somi submachine guns tailored for the independent division in Leidy, the United States, would arrive soon. The guns replaced by the troops were just equipped with the [-]th Army .

Then, Tang Qiuli ordered all the troops to return to the original defense zone immediately, and the martial law in Pingjinbao three places was abolished. The Pingjin Garrison Command issued an order and posted a notice. After all the troops returned to the original defense zone, they would closely monitor all the movements of the opposite Japanese army. , Without my order, the chief officers at all levels are not allowed to leave their posts without authorization, and must report to me the movement of the Japanese army on the opposite side twice a day at the combat command post.

The army's action order was immediately issued by the staff office. He paused and glanced at the officers below. Those officers who had ghosts in their hearts felt that they were stabbed in the eyes by the electric light, and their hearts trembled.

The final order announced was that those senior military officers were relieved of their military posts, immediately handed over the military affairs in their hands, and repatriated to their original places. Finally, Song Zheyuan couldn't bear it because of his years of incense, and each presented a large amount of Sichuan capital. , so that they can afford food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Given the financial situation of the 29th Army, Song Zheyuan couldn't afford it. To Tang Qiuli, it wasn't even a drop in the bucket. Seeing this guy's embarrassing posture, he paid out of his own pocket and gave it to this guy in the name of Song Zheyuan. A few veterans of the 29th Army who went the wrong way, taking into account the years of love between them.

Tang Qiuli decisively cleared the internal instability factors of the 29th Army with vigorous and resolute means. On this point, he has no psychological burden at all.

At the critical moment when I and the Japanese were fighting to the death, these people might bring their troops to join the Japanese, and they could stab me in the back. In history, there are countless such examples.

The atmosphere inside the 29th Army was completely new. Without these senior officers who clamored for refuge with the Japanese all day long, officers at all levels were no longer disturbed and devoted themselves to the training of the troops.

Tang Qiuli immediately ordered Zhao Yuhe to tailor a training plan for the 29th Army according to the characteristics of the 29th Army by referring to the training outline of the independent division, and to stay here as the acting commander's personal representative to supervise and guide the training process.

The officers had seen the methods of the acting commander, and they had newly installed a large number of advanced weapons. The firepower of each unit had reached a big level at that time. The training methods brought by Zhao Yuhe were of great importance to these officers and soldiers. All new subjects.

In front of them, a brand-new field opened up. Most of the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army were born in the bitter cold of the Great Northwest. , The effect is amazing, the military quality of the officers and soldiers has improved by leaps and bounds, and the entire army is full of vitality.

Tang Qiuli inspected several troops on the front line, and the results of the training, he couldn't help sighing secretly. After all, he is a man from the Northwest, and the soldiers of the independent division. The training conditions and supplies are several times higher than those of the 29th Army. The training effect of the recruits , but slightly higher than them, it seems that the quality of soldiers determines the future combat effectiveness of troops.

On the side of the 29th Army, the morale of the army was stable, Tang Qiuli's various orders were executed smoothly, and his energy was no longer involved.

Tang Qiuli began to deal with the internal affairs of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee.

Song Zheyuan was assassinated, Tang Qiuli was outside, and inside the Jicha Political Affairs Committee, there were groups of leaders. The pro-Japanese faction headed by Wang Yitang, Wang Kemin, and Qi Kuiyuan, plus followers of all sizes, formed a majority inside the Political Affairs Committee Factions, echoing each other, influence the political situation in Hebei, Chahar and Pingjin.

But Wang Yitang, a white-haired old thief with a good head, regards himself as the actual leader of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee, and pretends to represent public opinion. The police affairs in Pingjin and Tianjin are extremely busy and full of energy.
